Secret Garden

This week I received some of Sandi Henderson’s new line, Secret Garden, in the mail. I purchased this Fat Quarter set from Fresh Squeezed Fabrics. Isn’t it beautiful? This the the midnight colorway.

I also received a Free Spirit Designer Solids color card in the mail today! This was purchased from Hawthorne Threads. I think they sold out about 24 hours after they sent their newsletter out announcing they were in stock. Keep an eye out for more! I recently worked with these fabrics for the first time and I really liked them (more than Kona solids). You’ll be seeing more of them on my blog!

Comments

Oh wow loving Secret Garden! I’ve only used the FS solids once and think I prefer Kona. The FS have a slight sheen to them and felt slightly ‘cheaper’ than Kona – although I paid more for it than I would Kona.

It’s always interesting to hear comments about fabrics used, and comparisons. What is it you like about FS solids over kona? I haven’t used either yet but solids are in my near future, so some thoughts would be helpful. Ta.

I love using FS Solids when I am using FS prints because they match the colors So Well! It makes ordering fabric so much easier and I can mix and match across FS lines and know the dyes are more likely to coordinate. I still love Kona for many other projects such as Japanese Prints and other matte/linen blend fabrics. Glad you found them and can’t wait to see what you do with them!
